PARK CITY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Uncharted
Supply Co., an industry-leading emergency preparedness company
behind The Seventy2, the innovative 72-hour survival kit, has partnered
with Los Angeles-based The Chernin Group (TCG), a privately held,
independent media investment company founded by Peter Chernin.

Uncharted was founded in 2016 by adventurer and philanthropist Christian
Schauf, along with founding team members Eric Janowak, Mike Escamilla
and Josh Anderson with the goal of creating modern personal preparedness
products and services to keep people safe and protected, and to educate
families, friends, and communities on personal preparedness.

“Uncharted's mission is to make the world a safer place for all through
high-quality products and educational content. The Chernin Group's
investment brings an amazing level of financial and strategic support,
experience, and relationships. We had an amazing first year as a
company, and after working with the Chernin team over the last several
months, we are confident their involvement is going to be an accelerant
towards achieving our goals and growing our company,” said Schauf.

Built off the premise that emergency readiness shouldn’t be relegated to
bunker-builders, DIY’ers, and doomsayers, Uncharted aims to build
fully-integrated, high-quality survival kits that are invaluable for
everyone from the city dweller to the hardcore adventurer. Tied to its
products is Uncharted’s dedication to creating and sharing educational
content to help prepare consumers for unknown situations. At its
inception, Uncharted consulted with first responders, doctors, mountain
guides, and leading survival experts to develop its flagship product –
the 72-hour survival kit aptly named the Seventy2.

Following a highly successful Indiegogo campaign for the Seventy2,
Uncharted was subsequently featured on the October season premiere of
ABC’s Shark Tank.

Now through its partnership with TCG, Uncharted seeks to further grow
its direct-to-consumer sales, develop and launch new product lines, and
expand its educational content and brand footprint.

“Christian and Eric have a unique and winning approach to the emergency
preparedness market with a focus on lifestyle and accessibility. The
fact is we are living in times when people need to be more prepared than
ever, and Uncharted fulfills that need for individuals, families, and
companies around the world. Uncharted combines high-quality,
high-utility product with a strong, trusted, and modern brand,” said
Jesse Jacobs, President, The Chernin Group.
